No note f in A

In bar 21, the staccato dot, present in A over the 1st octave in the L.H., was misinterpreted in FE (→GE,EE) as an additional f note, which was annexed to the sixth in the R.H. Cf. bar 125.

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

..

A (→FE→EE1) lacks  rising c1 to c1. The obvious Chopin's imprecision was corrected in GE and EE2, as well as in FES which displays  written in probably by Chopin himself.

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

..

In FE1 there is no  next to b2. Moreover, A (→FE1→GE1) has no  before the first e1 in the L.H. It seems even that in A Chopin cancelled that sign probably considering valid the earlier  in the R.H. Remaining editions have these inaccuracies corrected.

In the main text we omit the superfluous  added in FE (→GE1→GE2) next to the last a in the bar.

b. 31

composition: Op. 26 No 2, Polonaise in E♭ minor

..

Cautionary flats before B1-B and b2 were added in FE2 (→EE). Chopin's participation cannot be excluded, although an editorial revision also seems possible. GE2 (→GE3→GE4) added four signs – before b1 as well.
